I have been using this system for couple of days, even though the frequency responce is not as good as my last creative speakers I am satisfied with its performance. For some reason i was not able to find even a single set of speakers with frequency responce starting from 20Hz at an affordable price. All seem to have minimum responce of around 40Hz and if you are buying one with that responce I think Pulse 475 has an edge. The system is compact making it ideal for Laptop users like me. Still I have not been able to check its full output as the whole floor vibrates at half and I don't want to have an argument with the guy downstairs.

I got these speakers to replace the built-in speakers on my Compaq laptop in my dorm. I don't think they'll ever be able to make quality laptop speakers but anyways...These speakers are perfect! I've had them about 3 weeks and they work tremendously, especially with the subwoofer. The sound is very complete and the set is ridiculously easy to setup. No drawbacks worth complaining about in the review. A very good value. Labtec is the off-brand/generic for Logitech so don't be fooled by the fact that you may have never seen the brand name before.

Ok, I wasn't expecting much for $33 dollars and I wasn't surprised. (I didn't get much.) I'd be hard pressed to give these speakers 5 stars like the other reviewers before me.

The satellite speakers sound very tinny at low volume levels. As you crank up the volume, the overall sound improves. Crank up the volume, move back away from the speakers (about 10 feet), and I'd rate them 4 stars (for the price). But...isn't the reason most people buy PC speakers for working at the PC (close distances) and for background music (lower volumes)? Be prepared to spend some time tinkering with the equalizer settings to get a decent sound at low volume. For that reason, I'd give them only 3 stars.

Great 2.1 Labtec Pulse 475 Speaker System, would recommend to all with a decent sound card, currently with Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, current Vista x64 OS drivers

Now, I have read some reviews for this "item" and i have to agree! i have nothing but good things to say about these speakers.... well ok i have one bad thing to say and thats it... the controls are on the side panel of the subwoofer which i was disappointed in... but in the new pulse 485 which is a few dollars more expensive you can get the wired control which solves all the problems!! but other than that its a good sound system for the price range... i was surprised to find such a cheap speaker set with this quality when i began looking for new speakers for my computer...

sincerely,

tony

I got a little obsessed shopping for moderately priced speakers for my new computer. After hemming and hawing, doing the usual price/review dance I opted for the Labtec 475 2.1's. Hooked them up in 2 minutes, was enjoying a dvd of "School of Rock" 5 minutes later, and I'm delighted. At $30 total, including shipping, can't beat'em! Most people looking foward to a general upgrade of their computer audio experience will be quite satisfied with these speakers. No complaints.

This is a great speaker system for the price. You will not be dissapointed. I use it in an apartment and it is plenty loud, bass is good too. I have the speakers connected to a portable CD player. You could use an iPod, your computer, or your receiver (through the headphone port b/c the speakers are self-amplified)

I have a laptop, but DVD movies did not have good enough sound to be watchable with just the laptop's own speakers. So I got this system. Once I set the bass to a medium level everything sounds perfect.

These are great speakers if you want to beef up the sound quality without spending a lot of money. Movies and music sound as good as my stereo. FPS games are completely different with these speakers. If you ever wondered before why other players seemed to know you were coming around a corner, it was because they had speakers like these.

Get a wireless mouse and keyboard (with volume knob), and you basically have a remote control multimedia system to watch movies / listen to music from across the room.

Hi all 3 days ago i got these speakers i was playing music all night long at full valume, these are nice speakers sound is clear and loud enough for the price, they go at wallmart 34.99 belive me you wont be dissapointed they are good speakers since they are only 2.1 but you can get better if you get 5.1 version by labtec which is my next buy so go on and get these while they still available.. i give these speakers 5 stars
